“We had an amazing experience with Amir! He took such great care of our two cats and was incredibly patient, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. His daily updates and lovely notes gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear he genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

I take safety and routine very seriously and always follow owners’ instructions closely. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and strong communication. I provide regular updates and photos, keep a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own routine. I’m especially mindful with shy, anxious, or senior pets, giving them the time and gentle attention they need. I’m also happy to learn each pet’s specific habits, feeding schedule, and potty routine to ensure consistency. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and genuinely committed to providing loving care.🐾 I work part-time in marketing on weekdays and teach yoga classes throughout the week. My schedule outside of those commitments is flexible, which allows me to plan pet care around walks, feeding times, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight stays. I’m available for pet care during mornings, evenings, and weekends.

For in-home visits, I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, pets are never left unattended in unsafe spaces, and their routine is followed closely to reduce stress. I also provide daily updates and photos so you can see that your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. If hosting pets in my home (boarding), I ensure the space is pet-friendly, calm, and comfortable, with separate areas for feeding, litter, and rest if needed. I supervise pets, keep hazardous items out of reach, and maintain a safe, hygienic environment.

About: I have fostered small and medium and large size dogs during Covid. I’ve learned that dogs are nervous During the first day of sitting, and may need some more time to adjust before they get into a good routine. I know the importance of keeping the same routine, not to introduce any new foods that may upset their stomach and so forth. Additionally, I Will follow protocol if a dog is feeling ill and give the dog a lot of attention and pats on the head. I am currently not working, so I do have a lot of time to play with your pets. Give them a nice long walk and all the attention that they can handle. I have a fence yard and one small dog that can keep your dog company . I have multiple pet beds around my home and places for the dog to rest
About: I was taking care of friends' dogs and cats since little with my mom for free. My mom is a dog lover and has owned dogs in the past. I am a cat lover and had a cat. We love all pets and would love to take care of yours for some time :) I dont have a job yet and i stay at home all day. I wish to make a couple bucks by providing my short term pet services on this platform. I have a fenced backyard, calm neighborhood to go for long walks, a park at a walking distance. Spacious house for your dog to feel good in my house.
About: Self proclaimed champion of ear scratches and belly rubs. I have many years of experience with various dog breeds, ages, sizes, fostering, high and low energy pups, administering oral medications. My partner and I can take care of your pup as long as they can be left alone 2-4hrs as my schedule and his may not overlap perfectly depending on the day. Dogs with separation anxiety may not be a good fit, but we are happy to chat to see if our schedule works out so we can accommodate. I am very active, so I love going on long walks, hikes, runs and off leash parks (if you agree to that). The safety of your pup and their overall enjoyment is my priority. I would love to do a quick meet and greet to learn more about your pup, your schedule, and how to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I love to send daily photo/video “pupdates” and to let you know what we are up to while you are away. I wake up around 7/8am, I can guarantee a minimum of 3walks a day. I am usually home, with the exception of running errands or the odd get together with friends. If there are times outside my availability, feel free to ask. I try to update the calendar, but I can also make exceptions and be a bit more flexible. My unit is a 1 bedroom 1200sq ft mid-rise apartment, our condominium has a private fenced-in yard amenity. Lots of dog parks and walking paths in the area (University and Dundas).
“Tatiana has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Champ. She is reliable, always on time, and incredibly patient and attentive. She never rushes, takes the time to do things properly, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. Champ is always calm and happy with her — we feel very lucky to have found her.”

“This was my first experience hiring someone to watch over my cat and Sharon really went above and beyond. She was extremely flexible and thorough with her visit. She sent many pictures/videos and checked in with me often. She let me know when she will be arriving and when she was leaving. I was very comfortable having Sharon around due to her experience and really felt her loving and kind nature towards my cat when she visited before my trip. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Sharon for taking such good care of my Peakie while I was away!”

“Joey was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to every detail. She took great care of my pets, kept me updated, and made sure everything was well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciated how reliable, thoughtful, and responsible she was. I would definitely recommend Joey and would be very happy to book with her again!”

About: I’m a longtime cat owner and animal lover with 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own beloved cat. I understand how important it is to find someone patient, gentle, and trustworthy to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with cats. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, companionship, and regular updates with photos for peace of mind. I’m currently offering drop-in visits only, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m currently available for cat drop-in visits during evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets receive caring attention, fresh food and water, litter cleaning, playtime, and updates while their owners are away. I believe pets feel most comfortable staying in their familiar home environment, so I always aim to provide calm, gentle, and reliable care during each visit.

About: I’ve lived with dogs since the age of 9, taking care of a Flat Coated Retriever, Black Labrador, and a Terrier/Chihuahua mix. I love dogs, am self-employed working from home (lots of flexibility in my job), and am ready to spoil (as much as you will allow) your dog. I currently work from home and have lots of flexibility in my job. I am available on weekdays between 9am to 5pm, and can come to your house to hangout with your dog and take them on a walk. When on a walk, I always make sure to be aware and attentive to my surroundings, paying close attention to the energy of the dog I’m walking to ensure everyone is safe.
About: For over three years, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for local strays, making sure they had food, clean shelter, baths, and the medications they needed to thrive. My passion for helping animals grew as I volunteered as an Adoption Process Specialist, guiding families through the joys and responsibilities of adoption, including understanding cat health, vet visits, and the cost of care. Most recently, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dog daycare handler, where I spent my days ensuring pups were happy, safe, and well-socialized. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my flexible availability. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize providing consistent, attentive care, ensuring your pet feels loved and well-cared for no matter the time or day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they feel right at home with cozy spots to nap, plenty of playtime, and a consistent routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like part of the family, offering lots of love and attention. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routine to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or just cuddles, I make sure they’re well cared for and send regular updates so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Spending time with animals has always come naturally to me, which is what led me to pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful huskies to tiny toy poodles, as well as plenty of affectionate cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible work from home schedule so I’m very flexible with fitting in walks during the day and meeting the unique needs of your pet! I have a spacious deck and backyard, and a dog-friendly park with a huge field near my house that leads to a beautiful trail perfect for walks! Indoors, pets are welcome anywhere in the main floor of my house and in my finished basement. My sister and I usually work together as a team to care for pets when I’m at home.
About: Expanding my services to dog walking :) Have been taking care of dogs for friends and have fostered one medium/large size dog. I really enjoy taking them on walks and watching them play at dog parks! I observe the behavior of the animals and try to understand their thoughts and intentions. I believe this way we see from their perspective rather than imposing our ideas on them. Currently I am not accepting pets into my own home as I have one cat who is terrified of dogs. However, I believe all pets deserve a safe environment and I do my best to provide that even if it is on dog walks / in dog parks.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am currently the proud owner of two German Shepherds (Shadow & Luna), so I truly understand the love, care, and attention dogs need. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior companions. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, so I can take dogs out for quick potty breaks and short walks throughout the day, with longer walks in the evening. My partner is also home during the day, so your pup will never be alone. We live on the ground floor of a condo with a large patio that provides a secure and open space for fresh air and playtime. I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your care instructions to ensure they feel safe and loved.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Sophia is such a dedicated and responsible sitter—I actually want to give her a 10 out of 5! She did a pre-drop-in visit and patiently listened to all my concerns as a first-time Rover user worried about leaving my two babies home alone. My dog, Chance, is an almost 90lb Labrador who is wary of strangers, but Sophia was incredibly capable of building trust with him. She even brought toys from her own home to play with him! She also bonded with my cat, Cathy, very well. Sophia sent numerous photos and videos during her visits and even insisted on walking Chance despite the cold weather. She is truly passionate about animals and very observant. For example, she noticed Cathy had moved her cat bed and asked if she should put it back. She even picked up a delivery for us that arrived earlier than expected! It was a pleasure working with Sophia. Chance and Cathy like her a lot, and I cannot wait to have her watch them again during my next trip.

We all love our pets and when we can’t have our immediate family to look after them I would highly recommend Moru. She took the time to understand all the instructions for our six month old puppy, and even turned on a YouTube channel with soothing dog music when she left I would not hesitate to use our services again.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
